The point of no return was reached
Some years ago, the dividend was earned
And spent without regard
And now at last, the fire burns
So low that smoking unseen odors,
Mask slight glimmers in the hard
Unyielding quarter of his life not lived

Contempt, he comprehends at last
Is only in the gift of the receiver
To endure. And to the giver is awarded
The right of last refusal. The obscure acceptance
Of tithes and times, the phrase that rhymes
Rings hard upon the river stones
And echoes through the empty rooms.

This is the Threshold then; the door ahead
Firm shut against the choices. The lifeless
Voices in his frontal planes, more real in turn
Than all the living may confirm, and in their
Spheres and whispers of coincidence.
There are few options after all
Above the hooded altars in the stars.
Birds stop chirping
Neighbours stop fidgeting
Maids stop cleaning
Phones stop ringing
Cars stop vrooming
Bikes stop honking
Clocks stop ticking
My little angel is sleeping
I sit here atop, closing my eyes
And hear the natures, its bellows and cries;
The wind whispers, its touch is cool
Swaying my hair,me in its gentle rule;
The trees speaking, rustling their lips
I wish i could hear these naughty gossips;
The chirps and creaks I hear them slight
Yeah the underworld is out for the night;
Apart from all, I still hear small silences
Calling out me from some distant absences;
I wonder is it God, my soul or my loves
Who is looking upon me as quiet as the doves;
No I can't hear or see or touch this essence
It just tells me about its existence;
"I ain't god or spirit or soul, you fool
I am just the love and care of the hearts u rule !"
(my first attempt to write a poem)
I once thought about my best friend
I was thinking of our friendship, was it going to end?
I don't know what a true friendship is now
I'm just sure it means more than a queen's bow
I thought I just had one kept safely in my hand,
but I what i didn't know was that it could also break as easily as a generic rubber band.
You know what? I'm done.
because this friendship is no longer fun.
She didn't stay by my side
so I cried and cried.
She never defended me,
but still, I let my anger set free.
She repeatedly stabbed my back.
I ask myself, "What is the skill in a relationship I lack?"
She was a pretender
So I never knew if she meant to really surrender.
She was careless,
and couldn't be anymore reckless.
She was once my friend.
"I'm sorry," I say to her. 'This relationship can no longer extend.'
just for those 3 friends of mine
May my pride die in ignorance of all sad facts and lies
may disbelief be conquered in the sight of both my eyes
may secrets give way to wonder in turn becoming truth
may I still dream in winter with the passion of my youth
may I master all my thoughts before they've mastered me
to feel things as they're passing, then in truth I"d finally see
